So far I have read:
John Grishams` - The Broker
Doyle Brunsons` - Super System
and I am 90% with Tom Clancys` - Patriot Games
However, I used to read the newspaper when I worked at the Car Wash in a former life and I would like to get back to doing that. I would read about 90% of the Paper each morning..
So my question is this avid readers(if there are any)...
Please click on the "Comment" Tab at the end of today's blog and tell me what you think. I will post the results to the Survey with some kind of graph or something... I have mad blog skills!!!
Thanks for the help!

I think so, the average novel, double spaced and fit to a publishable print size is only going to run between 50 and 100,000 words. Although a newspaper is hard to calculate with advertisements, classifieds and what not, I would guess the average word count of a national newspaper is somewhere in the range of 400,000 words. EVEN assuming it was half that and only 200,000, if you read 90% of that x7, I think you'd far exceed the average book. That's assuming that you actually read 90% of it, I presume that would mean pretty much every article less maybe the classifieds. But over the course of a week, yeah, I'd say it counts.
i'm going to have to disagree. reading one paper does not equal one book. i think one of the main reasons is because in the paper you have all these little mini-stories (which much of the time aren't that interesting or well written), so there are always interruptions.
although, i do read the paper daily, and i think people who do deserve some credit for it, so i say maybe everyday for a week= one book.
regardless, congrats on reading so much!
Gotta go with Erin on this one. Books and newspapers are totally different creatures. Knowing you though, you won't have a problem taking care of this with just actual books.
